Digital Health & Recovery

Therapy can help you change online behavior you find problematic and wish to stop.

If you struggle with compulsive use of social media or video games and you find yourself ignoring your children or being short with them, you are not alone. Working with a therapist who understands can guide you towards better choices.

Although it feels impossible to break free from well-traveled habits, it is possible. There are evidence-based options to help you change the way you engage with digital technology and you don’t have to do it on your own. Don’t let embarrassment or shame stop you from seeking help. Therapy will work with you on a realistic plan for healthier digital behavior.

It’s common to experience a period of psychological discomfort when we stop addictive tech. The discomfort can feel like anxious preoccupation, strong cravings, irritability, dysphoria, grief, and depression. A therapist can help you move through these periods safely, with courage and self-compassion.

Recovery from internet addiction isn’t easy and it’s an ongoing process. Therapy can help you identify and manage your triggers to get back on track in the event of a relapse. Little by little you can get your life back and model for your children what it means to use tech wisely.

Freedom from internet addiction promotes:

• Increased focus and concentration

• Increased mental and physical health

• Decreased anxiety and hyper-vigilance

• Completion of important tasks and projects

• Reduced feelings of fatigue and overwhelm

• Deeper social connections in real life

• Better, more restorative sleep

• Feeling like you’re living a life of meaning, purpose, and integrity
